Schools Engagement Report

Our new Schools Engagement Report presents a range of useful information about the schools you engage with, including geographic location, year group, and other characteristics such as:

• Phase type (state-funded, independent, etc)
• Type (such as academies, community schools, free schools, etc)
• Sex of intake (mixed, girls, boys)
• Religious denomination of school

The Report also lets you compare the schools you are currently reaching with schools and pupils in your chosen target area, according to:

• Pupil Premium
• Ethnic profile of pupils
• Number of pupils with English as an additional language

All of this data is presented and explained through a clear narrative, in a detailed document that includes lots of easy to understand maps, charts and headline information.

If you want to dig a little deeper, the report also comes with a full breakdown of the data in an Excel spreadsheet.

The report is built on a combination of your own data and information about schools in England. For each session that you’d like to include in your analysis, we need to know:

• Date of session (or month, if you don’t have a specific date)
• Name of school
• Postcode or Local Authority of school
• Number of pupils per session

If you can also tell us the DFE numbers of your schools, and the number of pupils of each year group in each session, your report will be as complete and accurate as possible. The order form contains a blank area in which to paste your session data. You can include as many or as few sessions as you like.

Your report will compare the schools and pupils you’ve reached (i.e. all sessions you supply data for) with all schools and pupils in your 'target area'. You can define your target area based on:

• an English region or group of regions
• a Local Authority area or group of Local Authorities
• a combination of region(s) and Local Authority area(s)

If you don't have, or don't want us to analyse, data on the schools you engage with, we can provide a version of the report which covers all the schools in your catchment area.

If you're just starting out with engaging schools, this could help you understand more about the types of schools in your area.

Schools Target Area Report - £425 + VAT

Please bear in mind that to create a Schools Engagement Report, we will need some information about the schools you have worked with:

• The full name of each school
• The postcode of each school
• The number of pupils engaged per session

If you have the information available, you can also include:

• The Local Authority of each school (although we can derive this from postcode, if you don’t have this)
• The School Number of each school (this is a unique reference number assigned to each school, which will help us to match the school to the record in the census; if this isn’t available, we can do this using a combination of school name, postcode & LA)
• The number of pupils per year group engaged in each session

Finally, we need to know the target area you would like to compare your schools to – this can be the whole of England, or a region or local authority (or combination of LAs) , please let us know.

To get started contact answers@theaudienceagency.org. Please let us know an expected timeline for receiving the data outline above - our turnaround time is 10 working days starts from the receipt of your data.
